About

We are all familiar with the signs that work's not going your way. The week has barely started and already you're playing catch-up. At the end of another long workday your inbox is still overflowing. It's enough to break anybody's spirit. On top of that, your calendar is jam-packed and your to-do list goes on forever. The worst part is that when you start to feel like you're losing your grip on your days, it can be paralyzing. And just try getting any work done after that. No wonder you have trouble meeting the targets you set, struggle to deliver the quality you aspire to, and can't ever seem to get around to personal development. You're working hard, sure, but are you making any progress?

Feeling these same signs that he was losing his grip on his work, Rick Patoor dedicated himself to creating a flexible and interlinking method where he could reclaim control over his work and life. He started by sharing his method with his coworkers and friends, and when he saw the incredible response they had, he wrote it all down and self-published this book in his native Dutch only to be floored when it hit the bestseller list soon after publication. With this new English edition, Rick hopes to share his method with everyone, who's looking for a better grip on their jobs and their lives.

Grip is structured into 3 Parts, Part 1: Get A Better Grip on Your Week shows how to master your calendar and get smarter and more strategic in the way you work. Part 2: Get A Better Grip On Your Year shows how to set and achieve realistic goals that are meaningful to you. Part 3 Get a Better Grip On Your Life, shows you how develop and tap into your personal capabilities. Throughout, it will challenge you to make smarter choices, to rethink how you go about your work, to take things up a notch at strategic moments, and to learn how to choose what not to do.
